ACAPS payload range for the 789 says 3t payload at 9200nm :-) ....which is probably why that graphic isn't showing it at 9200nm. ;) Seems to me the 789 is at around 9200nm in the graphic. What are we missing that you are seeing? The fact that it says SM and not NM in brackets at the bottom?

Thanks for the responses. I guess it just shows how good ANA is. For slightly more cost they go 2-4-3 (9 abreast in B777) and keep 2-4-2 (8 abreast in B787). ANA has no more 8-abreast 787s. They're all 3-3-3. Also, JAL has most of their international 772ERs in a 3-4-2 config. JAL also have 2-4-2 B7...

Alaska just posted a photo of two A321neos in a paint hangar. Both have been painted in the More to Love livery. http://www.instagram.com/p/BfPWMvVhZKU/ I think that is a mirror, not a 2nd plane. Photoshop maybe, but definitely not a mirror. I like the scheme though so I hope it's applied on two pl...

I thought MSN7877 was just a normal A321neo with just a different door configuration. Unsurprisingly, im not the only one that thought so: Very strange. 26 days ago Airbus told me (after I sought clarification) that this wasn’t the A321LR. It doesn’t have the 97t MTOW or the 3rd aux fuel tank. It’s...

What? I've had the time to rehearse the Messiah three times and to play it in concert once, and there is still no picture of the QR A35K FF? What could be taking so much time? You could have just looked on flickr: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4556/38861384532_1de464ca2e_b.jpg Qatar Airways Airbus...

I'm sorry, but I believe every border was crossed on this... And this is not a single one. Isn't this a website for photo showing and appreciation??? What would we supposed to experience on this? http://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/7/5/9/4709957.jpg?v=v44b0257ec12 :sorry: Sorry, since the...

Neos will soonly take delivery of their brand new B787-9. Does anybody know: 1) when? 2) Which Caribbean destinations will see their 787? 3) if they'll open more Caribbean destinations with them? Best regards! 1) Should be end of this month 2) From a quick search: Cancun, La Romana and Guadeloupe 3...

Thanks for reminding us. Going up to 14 a month makes a lot more sense once Boeing knew they'd get a deal from Emirates. 2017 has been a good sales year for the 787. Prior to this order, 83 per Wikipedia (not yet with Emirates order, again as Boeing made it sound like a conditional order that the S...

Definitely 12 J class flat beds as that I can see but cant make out how many in Y. I guess they will lose one-two rows in Y class maximum from the current seat count...most likely one only. If you look closely at pics - it’s 2-1-2 huh? what is 2-1-2? Its a narrow body. You need to look at the pictu...

Waiting the EK B787-10 order tomorrow ¡¡¡¡¡ Don't hold your breath... Last we heard, the decision between the A350 and 787 was off the table. https://theworldofaviationblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/09/emirates-delays-a350787-order-decision/ http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=137319...

Quietly in the August O&D update from Boeing, 8x GE-powered 789s listed as Unidentified have been converted to 8x [no-engine] 7810s listed as Unidentified. Let the speculation begin... I have the 53 previously yet to be delivered GE-powered Unidentified 789s as belonging to: (21) Hainan, (15) C...

Possibly a stupid question I have here, but here it goes: While I understand the static wicks on the wings discharge the lightening energy (correct me if I'm wrong), I'm amazed how how the fuel doesn't somehow combust when the plane is struck. Can anyone shed any additional light on how the fuel is...

411 seats on an A359? Must be 10-abreast! Wonder how this compares with 9-abreast 787s or 10-abreast 777s? Think about like this. The A350 is 5 inches wider than a 787. The 787 9 abreast configuration is supposedly terrible. Now think about fitting another seat in that 5 extra inches and you should...

Does anyone know the story behind why Malindo/Batik Malaysia's 9M-LRG was delivered to Batik Indonesia instead? I thought Batik Indonesia was transitioning to an all Airbus fleet. https://photos.smugmug.com/Airlines-Asia/Airlines-Indonesia/Batik-Air-Indonesia/i-kbmVpzc/0/ea93f457/L/Batik%20Indonesi...

I think this quote should put everything to bed: Boeing has added firm orders for 20 777X and 19 787-10 aircraft to its backlog. The 23 June update on the manufacturer's orders and deliveries website appears to be a confirmation of a commitment announced by Singapore Airlines on 9 February. SIA's le...

How will A350-10 compare to the B77W with these new figures? Only a slight initial payload difference left, 1 or 2 t. But the A350-1000 will fly that initial payload over a longer distance. 3 t increase in MZFW to 223 t, equals 3 t increase in max payload to about 68 t. 8 t MTOW increase to 316 t, ...

No, it is quite clear that it is 20 777Xs. Boeing has 33 777 orders ytd. 1 777F for FX (Jan), 8 UFO 77W (March), 4 77W for UA (last week), and these 20 777Xs (last week). With respect, If you go to the orders report dated June 23rd , sorted by model you will see 10 777X in the unid order column and...

Second 787-10 is back in the air today after spending time on the ground at BFI after its ferry flight from CHS. Not sure what it was doing though, but its interesting that its flying as BOE002 and not BOE036

Here's an even better close-up shot: https://imagr.eu/up/ETHuQ_34411800391_12d11dea81_o.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/woodysaeroimages/34411800391/ Is the tail skid default on the 787-10, or was this just a precaution in case the pilots pulled too hard on the yoke during the first flight? It wa...
